I work holistically with body, mind and emotions, whether within yourself or in relation to others. My passion is working with the unconscious to enable significant and lasting change. Intuition, alongside experience and study, guide my work. I supervise psychotherapists and clinical managers. I brought a new therapy to NZ, called SHEN Therapy. SHEN brings science to emotion, successfully restoring a natural balance to your emotions. My clients have recovered from such distress as migraines, sleep disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and pain caused by somatised emotions. Show less

I have been in private practice as a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor & couples therapist since 1984 in Ponsonby, Parnell & Takapuna. Self referrals welcome.

I ran weekly therapy groups for the second and third year counselling students. This was their opportunity to engage in personal development and self understanding in a group. I was also a guest lecturer.

I developed this personal development workshop with another psychotherapist. We successfully ran workshops based on 12 Jungian archetypes. We hired the large painting studio at Art Station in Ponsonby, so that our participants could expressively paint to reveal their inner selves and potentials.It was very successful and participants flourished.

I supervised the psychotherapy students, for their clinical work, in their final year of study. This included assistance with their case study, a long term case charting their work with a long term client.
